After prayer, the class took some time to re-organize itself. A second monarch was elected and the class split into two kingdoms. After this tribal time, we reviewed the history of sin and its consequences to humanity and creation. Tomorrow we’ll review how our personal sin is a part of the history of sin.
This morning in class, the students decided they wanted to remove the class judge and create a class monarchy. The class elected a queen to take over the class. Once elected, the queen removed the class prophet. The tribes were adjusted and the class had to determine how it would take shape under a queen. The class time was spent learning some important lessons on leadership and organization.
This morning I was at Aiken Regional for chaplains training and was not with the class. Mrs. Miller supervised the class. The tribes each had a “Scripture Search” assignment, which involved looking up the verses on the fall of the angels and of humanity. It’s important that the students understand the biblical basis of the stories and their truths.
Today after prayer, we discussed the rebellion of the fallen angels. After this discussion we looked at the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden. In particular, we emphasized that Adam and Eve were the “leaders of creation” and the “parents of human nature.” Before the Fall, there was harmony and peace in the person and in creation. After the Fall, there was disturbance and noise.
After prayer, the class rearranged the tribes. A fourth tribe – Reuben – was created. Some of the members of the other tribes were moved around. The class currently has four tribes, each under a patriarch or matriarch, and all under the supervision of the class judge. After these re-arrangements, we read and discussed Ezekiel 28:11-19, Isaiah 14:12-17, and Revelation 12:7-12. The rebellion and sad destiny of the Devil was discussed.
After prayer, the class discussed various evils and sins in our world. The question was presented: If we say that God and creation are good, how do we explain sin and evil in our world? The discussion went to the first sin: the fallen angels and their rebellion against God.
Today I was in Columbia for junior clergy meetings. Mrs. Miller supervised the class. After prayer, they viewed the second part of the DVD, “Rich in Mercy: A Life of Christ.”
Today I was in the church assisting with Grade 2-5 Confessions. Mrs. Miller supervised the class. The students prayed and then watched the DVD “Rain,” which introduced the question of evil and its proper understanding in God’s plan of love.
There will be a quiz on Monday, February 25, on the bible verses, Judges 21:25 and Psalm 8:4-5.
